Time-Aware Evidence Ranking for Fact-Checking
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Evidence ranking in three fact-checking models is ultimately optimized using a learning-to-rank loss function. ...
Truth can vary over time. Fact-checking decisions on claim veracity should therefore take into account temporal information of both the claim and supporting or refuting evidence. ...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Health Awareness Events by Google Search Frequency
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
Our study show that 10 health awareness events are effective with evidence of a significant increase in search frequencies in the event months, and 28 events are ineffective, with the rest being classified ...
It would be informative and instructive for the organization to know the impact of these events, although such information could be difficult to measure. ...
In fact, we checked the relative frequencies across effective, unclear, and ineffective events, and found that there is no relationship. ...
